Chicago (specifically Printers Row/South Loop):
1. Homes
- Many apartment buildings are 75-100 years old which comes with a whole slew of issues
- Buying a condo or apartment in the city is difficult due to Illinois taxes and the states shit financial situation
2. Outdoors
- Chicago has a fantastic lake front and some public parks that are nice but there is little to no, "outdoory" things to do in the city or even near by outside the city. The state is flat so there's no elevation hiking to do. There's no real forests. It's prairie land. Frustrating if you like the out doors
- It's easy to get into a routine that is comfortable in Chicago and they have that be drastically altered when the weather changes. This happens in a lot of cities but Chicago it can change your whole life due to the cold and things being less walk able when it's freezing outside.
3. The Cubs
- Chicagoians love sports. Cubs fans tend to be the worst of the fans in the city. If you happen to forget the cubs are playing and have to go through Wriggly on a game day you're in for a bad time. Need to use the red line on game day? Good luck.
Other than that Chicago is incredible. More people should move here. If it wasnt for the lack of mountains I'd probably never leave. Can someone tell me what sucks about Denver before I pack up and move?
